She loved the Lord and lived her life exemplifying the fruits of the spirit with kindness, gentleness, patience, faithfulness, self-control, joy, and peace even in the midst of years of fighting cancer. In 1960, she married the love of her life, Will Ed Loe. After twelve years in the Chicago area, they moved back home to raise their two boys. She loved to travel. Whether it be a family vacation, trips and cruises with her sisters, or the multiple visits a year to Branson, she was always ready to go.

She was a faithful member of Central Baptist Church for 52 years and loved working with the Girls Missionary Auxiliary and AWANAs.
